Zanzabar looked like the coolest map i've ever seen. I just hope there will be a way to do 2 flag CTF on the map. It doesn't look like it from the maps design, but man, that would be awesome. Kudos to Bungie on fantastic level design! Also - it's cool that we finally have a release date set in stone. I don't care if it's November, at least we know that IT WILL COME OUT in November. The end of uncertainty has arrived.

You probably could, because both sides have the flag holders. But I don't think the game would be very balanced, the team in the fortress would have the advantage. Unless they would still change sides every 3 min. then it might not be so bad.

I read the article at IGN and it is a 1 flag game, 1 team is on assault, and one is on defend.

Yeah, I think that the level was designed with this "assault" game mode in mind....wouldn't be very balanced for regular CTF. But I'm sure there will be some great maps for plain 'ol CTF as well. I can't wait to play this game.

I wonder how the Assault mode with the bomb (that game informer described) would play out on that map.

Yeah, especially with all the new destructible stuff!

And you just take the flag back to the beach, where you spawn.

There is new Assault mode where you take a bomb to the enemies base, similar to taking the flag to their base. Don't know if it actually blows up.

The demo at E3 is a one flag ctf. Start on the beach go into the enemy base get the flag and bring it back to the beach.

My guess would be that it blows up...or there would be no point in it being a bomb, it could just be a flag. But I guess you never know.

They would have the advantage, but just think how much more fun it would be to try and infiltrate the Cov. Base at Zanzibar.

I hope it blows up because that would be so cool. Then the next time you go to their base it would be more damaged. Ooooh this is to exciting.

I love how the gate switch turns to the blue screen of death, that's hilarious.
